Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 224 True Spirit Descendants
In the dense forest, a mandarin duck formed by white light flew slowly forward, leaving a string of tiny light spots behind it. It seemed to be dragging a long feather of light, reflecting a strange glow under the sunlight, which was extremely dreamy.

The mandarin ducks did not fly very fast, so Chen Yuan could easily keep up with them. After walking for a while, he found that the mandarin ducks were flying in a straight line and would only go around them when they encountered trees or rocks.

Chen Yuan was rushing around in the Fantasy Moon Mountains, which inevitably disturbed the monsters living there.

He had only walked over a hundred feet when he encountered a first-level monkey demon. He took out his Spirit Bamboo Sword and killed it easily, then continued to move forward.

After walking another two hundred feet, two giant apes roared and pounced on him.

These two giant apes were both second-level monsters, about ten feet tall, with two exposed fangs, and were extremely strong. Even when Chen Yuan displayed the aura of a cultivator in the late foundation building stage, they still rushed up without fear.

Chen Yuan frowned slightly and pointed. The Lingzhu Sword flew out and chopped the two giant apes into several pieces. The bodies were put into the mustard seed ring to prevent the bloody smell from spreading and attracting other monsters.

However, the roars of the two giant apes before their death still alarmed other monsters in the forest.

Roars rose one after another in the dense forest. The branches and leaves of the trees shook violently. Monkeys and monsters flew across the forest, not afraid of the powerful aura emitted by Chen Yuan at all. They rushed over with red eyes.

These ape monsters are of different species. Some are like the giant ape just now, which are level two monsters. They are covered with yellow hair, about ten feet tall, with exposed fangs, like angry King Kong.

Some first-level monkey monsters are thin, covered with red hair, have a pair of sharp claws, and are flexible and agile.

There was also a silver-backed gorilla that was completely black with its limbs hanging to the ground. It was actually a fourth-level demon beast, and a third-level ghost monkey that had a human face, a voice like a crying baby, and no hair on its body...

These nearly ten ape monsters were of different levels and species, but they were at peace with each other and rushed towards Chen Yuan together.

But even if they joined forces to rush over, Chen Yuan was not afraid at all. He summoned the Silver Gang Sword and the Spirit Bamboo Sword, and slashed at these monkey monsters, killing them one by one.

When the monkey monster rushed over, the mandarin ducks suddenly sped up and flew forward, dragging a long tail of light.

Chen Yuan did not stop walking. By the time he had killed all the monkeys and monsters, he had already walked a hundred feet. Behind him, there were corpses on the ground. The thick smell of blood filled the dense forest, making people want to vomit.

He didn't have time to collect the monster materials of these monkey monsters, so he just collected the monster cores in their bodies.

After killing all the monkeys and monsters that blocked his way, Chen Yuan arrived outside a valley.

The mandarin duck uttered a pleasant chirp, flapped its wings, and flew into the valley. Chen Yuan followed it, not forgetting to spread out his spiritual sense to investigate the situation in the valley.

These monkey monsters of various types and levels gathered together as if they were of the same clan, as if they were guarding something. They were fearless when facing cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. It was extremely strange and one must not be careless.

This valley is about several acres in size and has only one entrance. The other three sides are surrounded by cliffs about ten feet high. However, for monkeys and monsters, it is very easy to climb up without any obstacles.

What was surprising was that there was extremely rich spiritual energy in the valley, comparable to a miniature spiritual vein, but not a single bit of it leaked out, as if it was restrained within the valley by some force.

The valley is full of green grass and wild flowers, with bees and butterflies flying around. On the east side of the valley, there are more than a dozen towering trees.

Near the entrance of the valley, the flowers and plants were flattened, and many were broken. Hairs of various colors were scattered on the grass leaves, which were very similar to the monkey monster that died in Chen Yuan's hands.

After the mandarin duck entered the valley, its body became much more illusory, but it still did not stop and flew towards a cave in the deepest part of the valley.

Chen Yuan's spiritual sense spread out, but he was unable to penetrate into the cave. He immediately became alert, raised the Xuanshui Flag, and condensed the Xuanming Water Curtain to protect himself, and then he followed.

The entrance of the cave was very wide, about two zhang high and about ten zhang wide, deep and dark.

When the mandarin duck flew into the cave, its body shape became extremely illusory, as if it would disappear into thin air in the next moment.

Chen Yuan walked into the cave carefully, ready to use the secret technique of the giant body at any time to prepare for any possible changes.

But only the sound of his footsteps echoed in the cave, and other than that, it was silent.

Chen Yuan's spiritual consciousness was finally able to spread out and he could see the entire picture of the cave.

There is a straight passage in the cave. The stone walls are rough. At regular intervals, there are a few fluorescent stones embedded, emitting a faint light blue light. They seem to be casually inserted into the cave wall, and there are messy cracks all around.

Chen Yuan followed Yuanyang to the deepest part of the passage, which was a naturally formed stone chamber with an uneven top. The chamber was ten feet in radius, and many fluorescent stones were embedded in the surrounding stone walls, illuminating the entire chamber.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the stone chamber is the highest, comparable to a small spiritual vein.

On the ground in the center of the stone chamber, there was a three-meter-long tiger skin, on which was placed a formation plate about a foot in size. In the grooves around it were inlaid five medium-grade spirit stones, which were divided into the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and flashed with a faint light.

Chen Yuan could tell at a glance that this was a spirit gathering array. No wonder not a single bit of the spiritual energy in the valley leaked out.

In a corner of the stone hall, a dozen broken storage bags were thrown casually on the ground, next to them were several intact spiritual weapons and magical instruments, as well as more spiritual weapon fragments.

Around the spiritual weapon fragments, there were hundreds of colorful spiritual stones, jade slips, jade bottles and various spiritual materials and sundries, but there was not a single spiritual herb. The stoppers of all the jade bottles had been opened, and they were empty.

At this moment, a black jade talisman scattered among the spiritual materials and debris shone brightly, and a mandarin duck flew out from the jade talisman and headed towards the mandarin duck that flew into the stone chamber.

The two mandarin ducks looked exactly the same, except that one was extremely solid, while the other was a little illusory. They embraced each other in the air, circling around each other, making pleasant and clear sounds and shedding bits of light, as if it was raining light. After a long time, they disappeared.

After the two mandarin ducks disappeared, the white jade talisman and the black jade talisman in Chen Yuan's hand became much dimmer.

Chen Yuan sighed lightly, raised his hand, took the black jade talisman into his hand, looked at it for a while, and then put it into his storage bag.

This black jade talisman should be the one in Cao You's hand.

No wonder Ren Man went into the mountains many times to look for Cao You after he disappeared, but never found him.

This valley is located deep in the Huanyue Mountains and requires climbing over two thousand-foot-high peaks. With Ren Man's cultivation level of the tenth level of Qi Refining, it is naturally impossible to do it.

But how did Cao You's jade talisman come into this cave?
Chen Yuan's thoughts were running through his mind, and he took another look at the many items piled together in the corner of the stone chamber.

This stone chamber is obviously inhabited by someone or a monster.

Judging from the barbaric and rough layout of the stone chamber, Chen Yuan is more inclined to believe that it was a monster.

This monster must have killed Cao You and brought his things to this valley. But if it was done by a monster, why would it set up a spirit gathering array and why could it control all kinds of monkey monsters?
Chen Yuan had Ren Man's map in his hand and was quite familiar with the monsters in the Fantasy Moon Mountains.

Many of those monkeys and monsters are natural enemies, yet they can join forces to fight the enemy, which is really incredible.

Chen Yuan was very confused, but he did not think for too long. He walked to the pile of debris, raised his sleeves, and collected all the things, leaving only the dozen or so broken storage bags and the fragments of spiritual weapons.

Among these spiritual weapons, there is an axe-shaped top-grade spiritual weapon that looks quite extraordinary.

Among that pile of spirit stones, most of them are medium-grade spirit stones, and there are two high-grade spirit stones, with the attributes of gold and wood respectively.

There were several mid-grade spiritual materials scattered among the pile of debris, and Chen Yuan would not miss them.

After looting all these valuable things, Chen Yuan shook his head regretfully, put away the Xuanshui Flag, turned around and walked out of the cave without touching the spirit gathering array plate.

It is very likely that Cao You died at the hands of this monster. Chen Yuan and Cao You have known each other for many years. If he has the chance, he will definitely avenge him.

But this monster knows how to use the spirit gathering array. It can break the storage bag and take out the items inside. It can also let nearly ten monkey monsters of different species join forces to fight the enemy. It is extremely strange.

This is most likely a monster of level five or above. Chen Yuan would not risk becoming an enemy of this monster for Cao You. Looting all the items in its cave would also be considered revenge for Cao You.

But just as Chen Yuan walked out of the cave, the jade beads he had been holding in his hand suddenly trembled slightly and became warm.

Chen Yuan's expression changed and he immediately raised his left hand, and the jade pendant emitted a faint red light.

This is Yu Jue's reaction to the existence of true spiritual blood within a radius of a thousand feet!

Chen Yuan was ecstatic. He traveled all over Mingcang Lake and half of the Huanyue Mountains, searching for a year. He was even prepared to find nothing for decades. However, when he was least prepared, he suddenly got what he wanted and found the descendant of the True Spirit!
But he soon discovered that the temperature of the jade beads was constantly rising, and the red light it emitted was becoming more and more intense, which was a sign that it was getting closer to its true spirit bloodline.

Chen Yuan was shocked and had no time to summon the Duyun Boat. He immediately drove away from the valley with a light.

The descendants of the True Spirit possess the blood of the True Spirit and are extremely ferocious. It is easy for them to be invincible in the same level, and they can even fight across levels. Before knowing his details, Chen Yuan dared not fight with him.

But the jade soon went from warm to hot, like a red-hot iron, and the red light it emitted also turned red.

The next moment, a roar filled with endless anger resounded through the valley, and a white shadow fell from the mountain wall, like a meteor falling obliquely, and pounced on Chen Yuan.

The white shadow attacked at an extremely fast speed. Chen Yuan had no time to dodge, so he immediately used the secret technique of giant spirit body. His body grew to about eight feet in height, glowing bronze in color, and he threw a fierce punch.

boom!
An overwhelming force surged up, Chen Yuan flew backwards, hit the cliff wall, and rocks flew everywhere.

The white shadow just paused for a moment, then rushed up again and threw a punch.

Chen Yuan's face changed drastically, and he threw another punch that collided with Bai Ying's fist, but he was still unable to withstand this huge force and flew out. His right arm broke with a snap.

But this time, he used this huge force to actively retreat, and finally widened the distance between him and the white shadow.

After Bai Ying threw two punches, he seemed to have run out of strength and stopped, staring at Chen Yuan coldly.

This is a white ape, only seven feet tall, shorter than Chen Yuan after he performed the Giant Body Secret Technique. Its four fangs are exposed, and its entire body is snow-white, even its eyebrows are white, but its hands and feet are red. It has a long white tail that sways slowly, with a tuft of red hair at the end, like a burning flame.

The demonic aura on it is extremely strong, comparable to that of a level five demonic beast, but it is still in the ranks of a level four demonic beast.

At this time, the red light on the jade pendant was as bright and intense as the sun, and it was trembling slightly.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and injected a trace of true energy into the jade ball. When the jade ball calmed down and the red light dissipated, he put it in his arms.

This white ape is the descendant of the True Spirit, and the True Spirit blood in its body is quite strong, which is why Yu Jue reacted so violently.

The white ape stared at Chen Yuan with anger in its eyes. It roared and rushed over again.

Chen Yuan only exchanged two punches with the white ape before his right arm was broken. He did not dare to fight the white ape anymore, so he immediately raised the Xuanshui Flag and condensed a thick layer of Xuanming Water Curtain to block in front of him.

The white ape was not only extremely powerful, but also extremely fast. Chen Yuan was unable to dodge and could only take it head-on.

The white ape punched the Xuanming Water Curtain, and it was like hitting a thin and fragile layer of glass, which shattered immediately. A deep crack appeared in the middle of the Xuanshui Flag, and it was no longer usable.

However, after being blocked by the Xuanming Water Curtain, the power of the white ape's punch was greatly weakened. Chen Yuan swung out with his left hand with all his strength and finally blocked the punch intact, and also used this to create a distance of ten feet.

But this distance was not enough to stop the white ape. It just paused for a moment and then pounced again.

The Xuanshui flag was destroyed, and Chen Yuan no longer had any defensive spiritual weapon to use, so he took out the Silver Gang Sword and slashed at the white ape.

The Silver Gang Sword is considered to be the best among the top-grade spiritual weapons. When the sword is swung out, it emits brilliant silver light and a shocking sound.

The white ape kept walking, a very human sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and he raised his left hand to grab the silver sword.

clang!
There was a sound of metal clashing, and the silver sword slashed on the white ape's hand, but it only left a wound only an inch deep.

Chen Yuan's heart sank, the Silver Sword was so sharp, but it could hardly hurt the white ape. This monster was indeed a descendant of a true spirit, and its body was truly strong.

He stroked his storage bag, summoned the azure flying sword and jade bracelet, and attacked the white ape together. Then he took out the Broken Moon Spear talisman and madly injected true energy into it.

The white ape was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the wound on his hand. He seemed extremely angry, and roared. A cluster of white flames ignited on the red hair on his tail.

At the same time, a layer of white flames ignited on its hands, grabbing the jade bracelet and the blue flying sword.

The blue flying sword was faster and flew in front of the white ape first, where it was grabbed by the white ape. The white flame on its hand suddenly increased and wrapped around the flying sword.

Chen Yuan immediately activated his true energy and was about to activate the icy power contained in the blue flying sword, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, his face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The imprint of his spiritual consciousness that he left in the blue flying sword actually disappeared!
